Nurkic (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Jazz, Chris Dempsey of the Denver Post reports.

Analysis:

Nurkic sprained his right ankle against the Suns on Wednesday, limiting him to only 21 minutes in the loss. While the severity of the injury remains unknown, the fact that he's already been ruled out for Friday's game is an indication that it may be fairly serious. Until further notice, he should be considered questionable to play Sunday against New Orleans, and J.J. Hickson is the top candidate to draw the start in his place Friday with Darrell Arthur (calf) doubtful.
